A Testimony about Explosion of Fukushima Daiichi
[Updated on December 2]
A manager of of a Hitachi Group company, named Mr. Kawai, was on site in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant when hydrogen explosion occurred on March 12, 14, and 15.
While managers and staff members of TEPCO stationed in Fukushima Daiichi refuse to talk to the Media following the company's instruction to keep silent over the nuclear accident, some subcontractors have come to provide information for the Media. Mr. Kawai is one of them.
On March 11, 2011 when the Magnitude-9.0 earthquake occurred, there were 6,400 workers in the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Among them, 1,800 belonged to Hitachi Group companies. As the periodical inspection of the Unit No.4 was going on, there were more workers than usual. It is estimated that 1,300 Hitachi-Group workers were inside any of the four reactor buildings.
After the occurrence of the earthquake, most of workers evacuated the plant. But, Mr. Kawai, when he was trying to leave the plant, too, got a phone call from Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). He was asked to stay and cooperate with TEPCO's staff to restore the plant. At the time, there were only 30 workers who belonged to Mr. Kawai.
They made full efforts to connect external power lines to the No.1 and No.2 reactor units, since emergency power generators were already lost due to a 15-meter high tsunami. This work continued till the morning of March 12. Then 10 of his men returned home. Mr. Kawai also exited the plant and moved to special accommodating facilities 20 km away from the Daiichi plant. Then at 3:30 p.m., he heard a big explosion from the Daiichi plant. A hydrogen explosion occurred.
When he returned to the nuclear power plant, cables and wires he and his men had connected were all broken, damaged, and torn down. Mr. Kawai checked each of his men, asking if they would rather stay and continue to work there. Most of the workers wanted to go home.
So, Mr. Kawai stayed and continued to work for recovery of the plant. But, on March 14, only four men from Hitachi Group were working in the plant to provide electricity to reactor units, control equipment, and other facilities of the plant. But, around 11 a.m. the Unit No.3 exploded, another hydrogen explosion...

October 10, namely next Monday, is a public holiday for Japan.
It is called Health-Sports Day. It is to commemorates the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games which started on October 10. And, after Tokyo, the Olympics were held in Mexico City. Before Tokyo, the venue was Rome.
On October 1, 1964, the first Shinkansen super-express train ran between Tokyo and Osaka. However, in March 1964, Sony launched a desktop electric calculator using diodes. In April 1964, US IBM started to sell the System/360 mainframe computer. In June 1964, the first undersea cable was laid between Japan and the U.S. across the Pacific Ocean. In November 1964, the U.S. launched the Mariner 4 satellite to Mars. Yet, China blasted its first nuclear or atomic bomb in this year. And, the Tonkin Gulf incident also occurred, leading to the Vietnam War.
So, the year 1964 was so symbolic. It was roughly 20 years after WWII; but today it is almost 20 years after the end of the Cold War. We really need a rule to examine the on-going history. It is especially so, since the Second Coming of Christ must have started in 2010, as I discussed before.
